Step 2

When finished, lower the Opacity of this layer to 29% and put it in Multiply mode. Below, create a new group and name it “doll”.
For this work will be important to create each group of items within folders, to maintain some order.

Step 5

To make the eyes, make an oval with the Ellipse Tool (U) with black color. Press Command + T and tilt it. Duplicate the oval by dragging it with Alt pressed and place it on its site. Click on it with the right button and select Flip Horizontal.

Step 6

To make the teeth of the skull, first click on the Vector Mask Thumbnail to select the path. In the options of Pen Tool (P), select Add to Shape Area ( + ) so that everything you draw will be in the same layer. Use the Ellipse Tool (U) for the eyes and put them in a Clipping Mask in the skull.

Step 8

Let’s put some volume. Double click on the head to use the Layer Style. Select Inner Shadow, and choose a color equal to the face but a little darker. Set the rest of the options as in the image below.

Step 11

Turn off the groups “doll” and “mouse” and creates a new group below for the arc. Press Command + R to view the document ruler and place a guide in the middle. Use the Pen Tool (P) and the Direct Selection Tool (A) to draw half the arc.

Step 12

Duplicate the circle by dragging the layer pressing Alt. Change the color to a darker blue and press Command + T. In the Transform options, select Mantain Aspect Ratio, and set the Scale to 60%. Repeat with a third circle of the same color as the first.

Step 16

Now, draw a new group within for the crow (or whatever you want). Start by drawing the body and then add the eyes and beak, always using the Pen Tool (P), the Ellipse Tool (U) and the Direct Selection Tool (A). Then, scale it to fit.

Step 17

Step 18

Add a layer below. With the Gradient Tool (G), select from the options the Radial Gradient and Foreground to Transparent and select black as foreground color. Make a gradient from the center of the canvas that does not touch the margins.

Step 19

Duplicate it as many times as necessary to make a striped background. Merge all stripes by selecting them and pressing Command + E. Set the resulting layer in Multiply mode set it to 27% Opacity. Use the Eraser Tool (E) with 41% opacity to slightly clear the outside and corners.

Step 20

The next step is to give light and shade. Deletes the group of half the arc, leaving only one. In each of the parts of the drawing put a Clipping Masks and start painting with white on a layer in Overlay mode and black on a Multiply layer mode, using a soft brush (B) and smoothing with the help of the Eraser Tool (E) with low opacity.

You will have to go changing the opacity of these layers in function of the visibility it makes on each background color. Some must be more visible and others less. The aim is to give a bit of volume and separate the figures.

Step 21

Duplicate the half arc, and place it on its site. Select both groups and duplicate them. Merge them in a single layer and place it underneath. Press Command + T. Now move the central pivot down to the center point as in the image below.

Step 26

Step 27

Step 28

Double click on the layer of the doll, select Inner Shadow, set Blend Mode to Normal and choose a light blue color. Uncheck the box “Use Global Light” and set it at 40. Set the other options as in the image below. Copy and paste the Layer Style in the other layers except of the ground, drops and background.

Step 33

Step 34

Now, let’s go for the bubbles. Make a circle with Ellipse Tool while holding Shift to make it round and take off all the opacity.
Double click the layer and choose Inner Shadow. Set as the image below.
